ok so my coach keeps telling me i gotta lose weight in my legs. i think this is ridiculous but my legs do seem abnormally large for a distance runner. i'm 5'11 and about 150-155lbs but i'm not like a slow bag of shit or anything i'm a 9:34 guy. my question is how do i thin out my legs if this is even possible/necessary?
Your coach is a moronic bag of cocks. You may need to lose weight, but everyone with a 3rd grade education knows that you cannot spot reduce.

Your coach is an idiot. If you're not carrying too much weight, then there's nothing you can do about it. I've had overly muscular legs since I was born. I've always looked more like Lance Armstrong than a Kenyan distance runner, even in my high school and college running days when I was so thin they called me "skeletor". NOTHING you can do about having bigger legs than other runners -- UNLESS you are fat and need to lose fat, and that fat will be lost everywhere.
i thought so. no i'm definitely not fat.
you don't have to lose weight, heck the best thing you could possibly due would be to tone your legs some more by running more hills.
you're probably a strength runner, your legs are your greatest asset.
some guys wish they had strong legs, use your legs to your advantage.
